Defense Budget: Visibility and Accountability of O&M Fund Movements

Abstract

From fiscal year 1994 through 1998, DOD changed funding amounts for 245 O&M subactivities by almost $43 billion compared with the amounts Congress initially designated for them. These changes included both decreases and increases to the amounts designated by Congress. DOD moved almost $16 billion out of and $27 billion into O&M subactivities. The changes made to these O&M subactivities accounted for about 12 percent of the total amounts initially appropriated for O&M during the period. Over half of the $43 billion was moved out of or into ($9 billion out of and $13.5 billion into) 81 O&M subactivities DOD considers directly related to readiness, while $10 billion was moved out of or into ($5.5 billion out of and $4.4 billion into) 28 O&M subactivities that Congress considers high-priority readiness-related.
